In recent times, Rwanda has been at the forefront of gender equality on all fronts. That peacekeeping is no exception became clear for all to see as the country’s troops based in Malakal received UN medals for their service in the name of peace.
No less than 65 of the more than 800 recipients of the much yearned-for pieces of metal were women, a gender track record few troop contributing countries can match.
One of these female medalists is 40-year-old Lieutenant Chanate Mutagawa, a mother of three and an army nursing officer.
